The 7 deadly since, from a modern perspective. I'm sure each of us will have our favorite.

I thought Lust was the best.

  • Since what?
  • Since I read all the write ups.
  • snicker.
  • Next week: the seven deadly henceforths.
  • Deadly since when?
  • /me cries
  • Lust. Sloth. Gluttony. Who needs heaven when one can indulge on those down here..? Ah, and if one can have this as soundtrack, the better... Go Joe!
  • Why isn't Stupidity in the list? It's arguably deadly.
  • Other people's flatulence should certainly be on this list.
  • And never one's own... except after anchovy chili.
  • Can we add egregious misspelling as an eighth deadly sin? Please?
  • Sloth is the cutest deadly sin.
  • Can we add egregious misspelling as an eighth deadly sin? Please? Sure. While we're at it, let's add spelling fascism, too.
  • umm, what happened to Wrath? /refrains from Serenity quote
  • apart from envy, each of these seems fun.
  • Sure. While we're at it, let's add spelling fascism, too. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but anti-intellectual namecalling merely lowers my opinion of you.
  • Which one of the seven since is it to be looking forward to the smackdown between 3DM and Insochimp that is obviously just around the corner? *Draws up deck chair / opens tin of fizzy ale*
  • Probably Avarice, if we get a pool going. *Sets up patio umbrella / sits next to kit / cracks open can of 50*
  • Cheese and onion crisp? *offers family-size bag of Walker's finest potato product*
  • I'm a little disappointed that sloth and wrath are mutually exclusive, as are (true) gluttony and lust. Makes it kind of hard to score a full set. Actually, sloth and lust are fairly mutually exclusive, too. "Oh, baby, come on over and...whatever. Later." But I guess that's the challenge of it all.
  • Maybe we can do a 'one a day' thing, like with those little pots of 'pro-biotic' yogurts they're always trying to punt on TV...
  • *munches 'crisps' gluttonously*
  • Makes it kind of hard to score a full set I often fantasise filming myself lying back all day on a giant caramel donut being orally attended to by Katie Holmes while shouting abuse at the next door neighbour for having a bigger donut than me and then selling the footage on the internet.
  • Sloth and wrath are *not* mutually exclusive. Witness the current state of the US, where everyone is pissed off but no one is willing to really slug it out, bone-into-brain style.
  • Yeahhhh, true. I just don't think of it as wrath until you're nearly tearing chunks out of things with your teeth. though not in a gluttony-type way.
  • Wrath is... exploding and tearing off a new one on underlings and coworkers first thing monday, over the smallest job snafu, even when one promised... not... to... do it... anymore... *heavy sigh* Mmh, more than a sin, maybe it's just 'Poor Impulse Control'...
  • I'm disappointed they used the term "Avarice" instead of the more appropriate term "Greed." While it's easier to imagine Avarice as the sin of penny-pinching misers, Greed is much more widely applicable. And as the proprietor of deadlysins.com I'm disappointed they didn't ask for my expert advice.
  • Nice site, clammy.
  • 7 DeMoFiSi: 1. Selflinking* 2. Doubleposting 3. Pancaking 4. Soupfiltering 5. Kittenpicturing 6. Trolling 7. Chy * fine in comments of course
  • See, now that's the kind of comment that really belongs in the wiki.
  • As long as you fry the pancakes, it doesn't belong on the wiki, but in the LaGatta thread.
  • Quid, you're just not Chy-ing. *grins, wipes tears* hoo! *snif*
  • Oh, yes, Souza, SOUZA!!! Thanks, itstheclams!
  • Sticks and stones may break my bones, but anti-intellectual namecalling merely lowers my opinion of you. Not so much anti-intellectual name calling, but knowing that things change over time...
  • anti-intellectual namecalling YUR REEL STOOPID LIKE BERTRAND RUSSELL!
  • Was he in "The King and I"?
  • I thought it was Sasame Street.
  • Sesame / sasame, I don't freaking know!
  • No, that was Bertrand Ernie
  • I thought he was in Smokey and the Bandit
  • I 'ad that Smokey in the back o' me cab once, an' I says to him, I says: so, Lord Smokey - what's it all about, eh? And do you know, he couldn't tell me. Not a lot of people know that.
  • yknow why he couldn't? cause it was Sherriff Lobo! Pfft. Wanker.
  • No, that was Bertrand Ernie Brilliant.
  • I used to piss off my little sisters by calling them Bernie and Ert. Thanks for the memory and the smile it provoked!
